III Jiangshan

On the official road into the city, several steeds came galloping from afar, and the leader was a man dressed in fine clothes and a jade crown, with an exquisite appearance and a thin and handsome figure.It was Yuan Youqi.

The city gate was far away, but Yuan Youqi suddenly reined in the horse.The horse was running smoothly, when it was suddenly reined in, it kicked and stamped for two circles before it was about to stop.

Tang Xi and Liang Shao'an followed Yuan Youqi and reined in their horses. Seeing her hesitation, their hearts sank, and an ominous premonition surged up.

Yuan Youqi looked in the direction of the city gate, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see what he was thinking.

She pursed her lips and called Tang Xi, "Go to Changyang Lane!"

Just know!Tang Xi cried out in his heart.

The sky has already fallen, and the key is about to be released at the palace gate, but this ancestor is going to the Mochi mansion in Changyang Lane. If the Queen Mother finds out, the people who follow the imperial court will not get good results!

What's more, this ancestor is still sick and has just started to improve. If the illness worsens due to this toss, the adults in the previous dynasty will not eat these followers alive?

In this regard, Tang Xi's mind was faster than Liang Shaoan's. He had turned over and jumped off the horse, stopped in front of Yuan Youqi's horse, and hugged Yuan Youqi's calf that was stepping on the saddle.

"Master! Don't dare! It's already dark! You should go back!" Tang Xi acted as if the emperor would kick him to death and he would not let go.

Yuan Youqi twitched his leg in disgust, but he couldn't.

Liang Shaoan also came to his senses at this moment, and hurried forward, also persuading him earnestly.

At this moment, the gate of the city will be closed, and the official road is deserted, only them.

"If the old lady found out, she wouldn't have broken the legs of the servants! Master, please take pity on the servants!" Tang Xi howled, pretending to be pitiful.

Yuan Youqi is a soft-hearted person who can't stand Tang Xi's bitter look.

"Get up! Don't be ashamed here!" Yuan Youqi scolded him.

"Master, are you not going?" Tang Xi still did not let go.

"Who said no!" Yuan Youqi spat at him again with disgust, "I just didn't feel relieved to go and have a look, and didn't say what I wanted, why are you so flustered?"

"You have a golden eloquence..." Tang Xi was still worried.

"Whispering!" Taking advantage of his distraction, Yuan Youqi pulled out, whipped his horse and galloped away.

Tang Xi and Liang Shao'an didn't dare to be negligent, they hurriedly got on their horses, and followed closely with those master guards.

A group of people disappeared into the night, and the sound of horseshoes soon disappeared.

Not far from the road base under the official road, a single-driver blue silk carriage was driven out from the bushes.

The man driving the carriage carefully drove the carriage onto the official road, and he was about to give him a whip to get on the road, but an elegant voice came from the carriage behind him: "Uncle Li!"

The driver hurriedly reined in his horse, "What orders does Miss Mo have? Hey! You can just call me Li Da, I can't afford to be an uncle!"

He is the groom of Duke Anguo's mansion. He has always been prudent and responsible, so he was trusted by the housekeeper to pick up the ink pool.He also heard from the housekeeper that Miss Mo is a distinguished guest in the mansion, and she has to serve her as if she were her master.Li Da followed the housekeeper's instructions and dared not neglect.

Hearing this, Mochi was noncommittal, and said calmly, "Go back to your residence."

Li Day was stunned: "Didn't you just say you were going to—"

He kept quiet in time, thinking to himself that Miss Mo would go wherever Miss Mo told her to go, so what was he talking about?

"Okay! Go back to the mansion!" Li Da yelled, the whip twitched the horse's buttocks of the driver, and the horse rumbled into the city, heading straight for An Guogong's mansion.

As he yelled, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Didn't Miss Mo say she was going to Changyang Lane?Why did you change your mind?

There is also that son just now, although he can't tell what his face is from a distance, but the bearing in that voice, and the tone of the attendants, he must not be from an ordinary family.He is going to Changyang Lane too?

Could it be that Miss Mo knew the young master?Hiding in the bushes before was also to hide from him?

It doesn't matter if you don't go!How many good people are there in Mr. Guijie like that?Miss Mo's fairy-like appearance, don't be ruined by him!

Thinking of this, Li Da stepped up his whip.

Yuan Youqi and his party in Changyang Lane were all in vain.

Mochi is not there, and Mochi is avoiding her in various ways.This was expected, but when faced with the empty yard, Yuan Youqi still couldn't help feeling sad.

Is it such a luxury to even see each other soberly?

She stood alone in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

The night sky is clear and bright, the moon is like a plate, surrounded by stars.

Yuan Youqi suddenly felt that he was that moon, which seemed to be above tens of thousands of people, and countless people looked up to him, but he was also alone without anyone to accompany him.

Yuan Youqi did not find the Mochi, as he said before, but "don't worry about going to have a look", after sighing at Yue Chang for a while, he felt forgetful, but the grief did not decrease but increased.

The emperor's promises are endless, since they were promised before, they should be fulfilled at this moment.What's more, knowing that Mochi has sensed his own thoughts, he will not come here, and staying any longer will only add to his sadness.After Yuan Youqi stood silently in the courtyard for half an hour, he finally returned to the palace with his entourage on horseback.

This move of her made both Tang Xi and Liang Shao'an secretly heave a sigh of relief.

However, as soon as they returned to the dormitory, they heard the inner eunuch on duty say "the queen mother has passed away", the spirits of both of them became tense again, feeling a little uneasy.

Yuan Youqi seemed to have expected it long ago. After hearing the reply from the intern on duty, she turned around and went to Shoukang Palace.

Tang Xi's head suddenly grew two times, and he thought, ancestor, you changed your clothes!It's so bright, isn't it self-inflicted?Even the queen mother and her elders already know that you have left the palace in low clothes, you should at least cover it up!Is this going to set up a ring with her old man?

But he could only bite the bullet and follow Yuan Youqi to Shoukang Palace.

Unexpectedly, outside Shoukang Palace, Pan Fu was already waiting there.

Seeing Yuan Youqi in ordinary attire, Pan Fu was neither surprised nor surprised, and still saluted sternly, passing on the words of Empress Dowager Wei that the emperor will go back just as he came.

Empress Dowager Wei didn't want to see her.

Yuan Youqi came in a hurry, touched a nail on the forehead, and was immediately discouraged.

She also knew that the Empress Dowager Wei was so angry with herself, that's why she didn't see her behind closed doors.Although she was full of words and was ready to show off to Queen Mother Wei, but Queen Mother Wei didn't see her, could she force her way in?

Naturally not.

Taking another deep look at the closed main hall gate of Shoukang Palace, Yuan Youqi secretly gritted his teeth and left resentfully.

She was burned out by the ink pool and had nowhere to vent her anger, and was rejected by Queen Mother Wei, making her feel even more depressed.

What made her even more depressed was that when she returned to the bedroom, an unexpected person came to greet her.

Yuan Youqi stared at the person in front of him for a while before he recognized that this person had not been seen for many years, Wei Zhen.

"Why are you here?" Yuan Youqi looked coldly at Wei Zhen who was still bowing to her and bowing to her.

"The concubine serves Your Majesty's decoction under the order of the Queen Mother." Wei Zhen replied.

"I have servants by my side, palace maids, and ministers from the imperial hospital, so I don't need to work on you." Yuan Youqi's voice was colder, and the meaning of refusal was fully revealed.

Wei Zhen was aroused by the estrangement in her words and felt miserable in her heart, and said again: "Serving Your Majesty is a concubine's voluntary thing. It is a concubine's duty!"

"Duty?" Yuan Youqi raised his eyebrows, "I don't understand this."

The emperor was willing to continue the conversation with him. Wei Zhen calmed down a bit, and said boldly: "The queen mother has already allowed her concubine to be your concubine. Since she is your concubine, it is naturally my duty to serve your majesty."

Yuan Youqi sneered, and a dangerous glow flashed in his eyes.She walked over Wei Zhen's kneeling body and said in a low voice, "Come in and talk about your duty."

Wei Zhen was overjoyed, stood up quickly, and followed Yuan Youqi step by step.

Although he couldn't understand Wei Zhen's behavior, the emperor's words and deeds made people feel even more frightening. Tang Xi couldn't help but sweat for Wei Zhen, thinking that fortunately, this man knew a little bit of propriety, and was alone without a maid.Otherwise, with His Majesty's current state of mind and the impatience shown, what happened tonight may make this person feel ashamed in front of his servants in the future.

Yuan Youqi sat cross-legged on the couch, staring at Wei Zhen standing in front of him with downcast eyes, sneered in his heart.

Just at this time, the decoction prepared according to the new prescription of Tai Hospital was sent by the little internal supervisor.The internal supervisor of the food taster had no abnormality after trying it, so he was sent to the front of the imperial court.

Tang Xifang wanted to take the medicine bowl and serve Yuan Youqi to drink it, but Yuan Youqi stopped him with a wave.

Yuan Youqi raised his chin slightly, and nodded to Wei Zhen, his voice was still cool: "Come here."

Wei Zhen's face turned pale when he heard this, and he suddenly felt a sense of humiliation: Is this treating her like a slave?

However, Yuan Youqi's next sentence forced her to do this: "Aren't you going to serve me? This is the most basic thing. Could it be that you don't bother to do it?"

Wei Zhen's face turned paler, enduring the humiliation, took the medicine bowl in the tray, and presented it to Yuan Youqi.

"Your Majesty, please take medicine!" Her hands were still trembling.

Yuan Youqi looked at her coldly, and hummed softly in his nasal cavity, but his eyes were awe-inspiring, with the determination of life and death belonging to a superior, and he suppressed it.

Wei Zhen was looked down upon by her, and felt uncomfortable all over her body, but under the tyrannical pressure, she had no choice but to kneel down——

"Your Majesty, please take the medicine!" I offered it with both hands, begging, and humiliated unwillingly.Wei Zhen's eyes were already stained with tears.

Yuan Youqi cast a glance at her, thinking that's all there is to it!

Then he raised his hand to receive the medicine bowl.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yuan Youqi's raised hand missed Wei Zhen's hand holding the medicine bowl, and he missed it. With a "clang", the jade bowl fell and shattered to the ground, and the soup even spilled one place.

Such mistakes are never allowed in front of the imperial court.The eunuchs and eunuchs in Tang Xi's dormitory were all frightened and knelt down, pleading guilty.

Wei Zhen went in without knowing it, staring blankly at his empty hands, and everyone's pleading voices echoed in his ears.

"Are you going to serve the horse like this?" Yuan Youqi's icy voice exploded above her head.

Wei Zhen's body shook violently, and he raised his head to meet the emperor's eyes in bewilderment.

Those amber eyes, once so beautiful, are now chilling.While Wei Zhen saw her own shadow in those pupils, she also felt that she was about to be strangled by the overwhelming amber color.
